I’m the last formal head of the Soviet bloc;
I’m an Internet note; or the taste of the wok;
I’m a place to watch sports, or a concert of rock;
And marines who guard embassies all ’round the clock.

Who am I?

I’m not multiplication, except in a cell;
I’m a part of an army, or business as well;
A collection of sports teams where one will excel;
And the discord that tears an alliance to hell.

Who am I?

By Napoleon’s troops, I was dragged from my bed;
And was brought, not to France, but to Britain instead;
I repeated three times just one thing that was said;
And I brought back to life what was thought to be dead.

I’m a pecan-decked cookie that’s made near Vermont;
Or a place to enjoy a Gipfeli croissant;
A convention of laws for the camp commandant;
And a common sans serif plain Macintosh font.

I am neither a consequence, nor am I dare;
A sojourner for rights, who was past all compare;
I’m the first one that Superman fights for out there;
And a website that warns you of smoking – beware!

Who am I?

I am black or I’m white for your classroom decor;
Used for fixing the window, or blocking the door;
I lie flat in a chess game, but not Connect Four;
And in Strangelove, I’m big; in Glengarry, the score.

Who am I?

I’m one side of a ship; or its windows in line;
I’m the place where it docks, or its city assign;
I’m a slot for your flash drive; Iberian wine;
And when caught in a storm, any one of me’s fine.

Who am I?

I am Soviet Russia; and Civil War Yanks;
I am organized labor; investor shared banks;
I’m the homeland of euros, not lira nor francs;
And a place where the students assemble their ranks.

Who am I?

Whether comic or tragic, I’m drama’s known face;
On the ice or the diamond, I’m just in one place;
I’m on hand on the airplane, but needed in space;
And if made out of iron, I hide a disgrace.

Who am I?

I was famous on Fawlty for playing the fool;
I took over for Thatcher’s Britannia rule;
I’m the league with the pick of the best from the pool;
And the subject you studied when you were in school.

Who am I?
